Yes, Delvac 15W-40 should work fine. I use the Rotella T4 15W-40, or the Traveler 15W-40 available at Tractor Supply.

Hopefully a moderator @tjc transport can move our posts to a new thread since this is a thread from 2006.

I use the Valvoline 15w-40 because it’s endorsed by Cummins (they know a thing or two about diesel engines) and it’s about $2 per gallon cheaper than the Delo at my local parts store.

i use the valvoline 15-40 all fleet because that one oil can go into everything i own. makes life a lot easier with only one oil for everything.

I don't know about that. How much can they know if most of their engines are missing at least 2 cylinders.

Exactly what I was thinking! LOL


We’ve used Mobil Delvac for years with no trouble. Only issue is they were jacking around with their pails. Some didn’t have a vent, and last pail was red instead of black. Black pails have always been engine oil, while red pails are gear/diff/hydraulic oils etc. Doesn’t mean anything, just odd that they’d change after all these years.
